Do you truly believe that you are alive?

[yellowcat1771]

We are created from atoms and cells.
Essentially we are just a sophisticated biological machine in which when one piece of matter moves or behaves in a certain way it creates a chain reaction.
A beautiful mathematical and biological orchestra of unfathomable precision.
Given enough time and resources every component that makes up our bodies and minds can be dismantled and explained through science.
So i ask again do you truly believe that you are alive?

[pinoycash]

as long as i can feel pain i am still alive plus the fact that im replying to your post. and answering a non sense question

OP you said I'm toxic in your reply to me in another thread, but I was just being stern.  I'm a nice guy in general in real life, so don't mind my behavior here.

What you wrote I've been pondering since childhood and it's crazy, isn't it?  Yes, I'm alive and it's amazing what results from unique combinations of arrangements of atoms and molecules.  Not sure where consciousness comes from.  That's what's always baffled me.

Almost everything that we know is created from atoms.  Atoms moving in space.
If the atoms you carry around are not moving you are dead.
 

[gentlemand]

No. I've always had serious difficulty believing that I exist or that any of this is truly happening. I can't be arsed to explain why but that's how it's always felt.

When you are in pains and when you are hungry, you probably know you're alive!
When you have everything in life and you dont need to think about surviving, you can ask those questions.

If you think that you are just a sophisticated biological machine, than you are already death.
In my opinion, human being is much more than just body created from atoms and cells.
We are created by God and have both spirit and body.
When our body pass away, our spirits continue to exist in eternal spiritual world, forever.
So, our body is not eternal and our cells dying every day but our spirit is eternal.

People have souls and spirits. Souls and spirits have their own distinct realms, and survive without the body. This life is simply where these all meet together in a lively way.

[mrflibblehat]

So which is what? What's the distinction between spirit and soul?

Yes I am alive as I can eat, drink,  do whatever i want to do...  I can feel the pain when i am hurt, happiness,  etc etc. ..

Maybe if you taking drugs you have no clear conclusions, but then we won't help you with our honest answers.
For you we are only part of trip?!

How long will it take exactly in your opinion?

IMO science as it is now can't explain many very important things. I'm not against science, no, I just can't agree with such overestimation of its power.

Cogito ergo sum or, in English, "I think, therefore I am alive"  as René Descartes said is the answer to the question "Do you truly believe that you are alive?" IMO.

[blackbird307]

I eat pizza therefore I exist. How about you? Do you exist? Or you're only some bitcointalk dream?
